Welcome to my blog -- Jones Family Matters. Over time, I hope to post stories, pictures, etc. from all of my family lines. The initial posts will be about the Joneses, but I've researched my German and Irish roots, too. Surnames I've investigated include: Jones, Ryan, von der Heide, Cronin, Probert, Dailey, Wainright, Reed and Hellmann. I am consoled by those who came before me and hope you are, too.

The Windows of Venice

﻿

San Marco Square
Venice, Italy

I just returned from a wonderful trip to six European countries: Germany, Netherlands, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, and Italy. The trip included a 10-day cruise with additional days before and after the cruise. The whole trip was put together by my cousin and genealogy buddy, Barbara Pharo.

One of the places we visited was Venice, Italy. I fell in love with the architecture, especially the diversity of windows. I thought I would share some of my favorites by putting together a couple of collages.

In order to do this vacation justice, I would have to start a whole separate blog. So let me just say that it was a wonderful adventure for the nine people who were fortunate enough to go.

I thought I posted something, but guess it didn't go through. I do hope you will blog your trip. We need to appreciate other countries styles and decor. The windows are amazing. Looking forward to hearing about your trip and some pictures too. Betty A.

Every time I see beautiful shots like these of Venice I could kick myself for only visiting Florence and Rome. That was a big mistake because now I will never make that trip again. Love all the beautiful windows. What charm they have, and your captures and collection are lovely. genie
